Miami officer suspended after video shows him desecrating jewish texts, chief says- Nik Puri

Miami police officer Roberto Destephan, was suspended for calling the jewish Tanakh, "crap" on video. In return his organization , The Miami Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police, called this video "heavily edited" and an effort to sabotage Destephan ahead of his reelection for vice president of the local police union. Moreover, the Miami FOP said that the video was filmed years ago and was takin amid an organization office cleanup that involved mold and termites. When Miami Police Chief Jorge Colina suspended him, he referred to his comments as "anti-Semitic" and was disturbing and inconsistent with the departments values. There are many different point of views on this case from it being blackmail to an act of discrimination, but the Miami Police department fortunately, does not condone discrimination.

  2. It is horrible that people still don't accept differing religious morals. What makes a person think that this is the right way to act? Not everyone has the same minds and personality as each other, so its only natural to think and live in different ways.
